SA State Series - Round 4

Fox Creek Long was host of Round 4 of the Inside Line South Australian State Series. It did involve sideways action of the good kind!

Fox Creek in the Adelaide Hills, that is where round 4 of the Inside Line South Australian State Series took place, a cold A�and wet lead up to the weekend turned into a weekend of clear skies (it was still cold!). Track wise it was ‘Long’ that was used and was riding as well as it usually does. A few Victorian riders made the trip over for the weekend and took on what the course had to offer, quiet successfully we might add with the Vicos taking home a few gold medals!

Stunning... (ly cold?! It is an outdoors sports though so no complaining!) — Stunning… (ly cold?! It is an outdoors sports though so no complaining!)

There was lots of sideways action on display!

The crowd loves the sideways action of course!

Infact it makes the whole event feel a little better when there is a crowd cheering on the riders.

If you have seen the video footage floating around then you would understand why the most out there whip of the weekend went to James Chambers.

We want to talk about the females who rode on the weekend, always great to see and something we want to see more of! Sport women was hotly contended with Casey the Ballarat MUD rat taking the win over Sue-ann who usually braaps a BMX.

Elite women was won by Philippa, whose light setup proved a fast roller on the tacky Fox Long track. Moira desperately flogging more speed out of the “Beast of Glory”, to take second place from Laura Kelly, who retired early due to Master Kellys untimely hospital visit.

This rounds reporter on all things that involve the fairer sex, Curbsidechucky coming through the waterfall section and the jumps following it.

As for the men’s racing it was the Victorian import, Darcy Coutts, who took the under 17’s A�win by around 4 seconds – impressive work! As for the elite men it was Conor Clancy taking his maiden elite win. For all the results head to the Inside Line website and see them there.
